THE CITY of NEWCASTLE Lord Mayoral Minute Page 1 ITEM-13 THE CITY OF NEWCASTLE Lord Mayoral Minute Page 1 ITEM-13 LMM 24/07/18 - NATIONAL SECOND CITY POLICY FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT MOTION That Newcastle City Council: 1 Notes that the Committee for Geelong is calling for Expressions of Interest – Scope Development from National Second Cities, to assist in the development of a proposed National Second City Policy Framework; 2 Re-affirms the City of Newcastle’s status as a Second City of New South Wales; 3 Notes that following the City of Newcastle Second Cities Roundtable a delegation from Newcastle, including from the University of Newcastle, Hunter Research Foundation Centre, Port of Newcastle and Newcastle based Commonwealth Bank representatives are currently in Geelong for the launch of the national call for a Second Cities policy. 4 Supports a partnership with the Committee of Geelong in the development of a proposed National Second City Policy Framework with a $25,000 contribution towards the research report, noting the collaboration includes the City of Wollongong who has resolved to support the development of a proposed National Second City Policy Framework and will make a financial contribution to this project; 5 Supports, in principle, a partnership with the University of Newcastle to deliver the Second Cities Symposium being planned for 3-5 October 2018, in the City of Newcastle (Attachment B). BACKGROUND On 7 June 2018, the City of Newcastle hosted a Second Cities Roundtable where the Committee for Geelong briefed Newcastle City Council, and key partners on the creation of a Committee for Greater Newcastle, and the development of a proposed National Second City Policy. The Committee for Geelong's international research report about tier two cities, Winning from Second: What Geelong Can Learn from International Second Cities (Attachment 1) draws on the experiences of comparable cities in Europe and the United States of America to guide the transformation of the Geelong economy. While focusing on Geelong, the project underscores the need for greater policy and planning attention to be given to second cities in Australia, as international experience provides examples of significant economic and social development as a result. As part of the briefing discussion on the day, the Committee for Geelong outlined their objectives to develop a proposed National Second City Policy Framework, which was unanimously endorsed by the participants in attendance. Committee for Geelong Chief Executive Officer, Ms Rebecca Casson, has since written to Council seeking our support for the development of a proposed National Second City Policy Framework. THE CITY OF NEWCASTLE Lord Mayoral Minute Page 2 National Second City Policy Long term underinvestment in second cities presents risks of national economic underperformance, and some countries are pro-actively developing explicit policies for their second cities. It is therefore important that Australia considers a second city policy approach and begins to lead the way in this arena. A strong national second city policy for Australia’s largest city economies (outside of the major cities in each State) will be beneficial to Australia’s overall economic and social performance. National and state policy agendas must be complimented by whole-of-government policies that formally acknowledge and support the development of Australia’s second cities. It is evident that Governments can no longer efficiently prepare for the future by relying on historical approaches to urban planning and city development. Australia is growing and there will be more second cities in the coming years. Cities such as Geelong, Wollongong and Newcastle are among the first and most appropriate city- regions to base a proposed National Second City Policy Framework on, which can then be adopted across all tiers of government. With the Victorian Government formally recognising Geelong as Victoria’s second city in its revised Plan Melbourne, and work undertaken by other States in this area (such as NSW – Parramatta, and QLD –Sunshine Coast/Gold Coast) the stage has been set for a fundamental rethink on the importance of second cities throughout Australia. Because of the similarities between the cities of Geelong, Wollongong and Newcastle, a positive working relationship has been forged between those Councils over several years. This collaboration has provided opportunities for information sharing, networking and policy development. Following the completion of the Winning from Second: What Geelong Can Learn from International Second Cities (Wf2) research, there is an opportunity to reignite the relationship between these three cities through the development of a Memorandum of Understanding/term sheet to guide future opportunities for collaboration. Co-funding research and development of a proposed National Second City Policy Framework cements this arrangement, and the Committee for Geelong will help to support this process. University of Newcastle Second Cities Symposium The University of Newcastle’s Hunter Research Foundation Centre, with partners AECOM and Hunter Water Corporation, are currently preparing to host a Second Cities Symposium at NewSpace in October 2018. The Symposium aims to further the development and build awareness of the need for a Second Cities policy by drawing on domestic and international expertise. Alongside external sponsorship and grant funding, the University of Newcastle have requested in-kind and financial support from Council to support the Symposium.

Winning from Second What Geelong can learn from International Second Cities Supported by Acknowledgements Geelong is Victoria’s second city and proudly so. But second does not mean second rung or second place; it means Geelong enjoys all of the benefits of being within arm’s reach of Melbourne but free from the constraints of big city living. It means being grounded by Geelong’s own rich legacies, yet experiencing the freedom that comes from being surrounded by open space and open water. More than that, it is about having the unbridled ability to think clearly and create a life with wellness at its core. The Committee for Geelong’s research on second cities draws on insights from the significant change and economic transformation of cities comparable to Geelong. This research provides Geelong with substantial guidance to further drive the vision and strategic plan for our city’s future. The Committee for Geelong values the support for our research on second cities, and we are particularly grateful for the assistance from our colleagues in the international cities we visited. We thank the Second City research team for their vital input, and specifically thank the United Nations Global Compact – Cities Programme and RMIT’s Centre for Urban Research

  • Metropolitan Regions As a New Spatial Planning Concept
    STUDIES IN SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT Die Umsetzung des Konzeptes der Metropolregionen in der planerischen Praxis war Hauptthema 8 eines kürzlich an der Universität Tübingen abgeschlossenen Forschungsvorhabens. Zu den zentralen Fragen zählten Chancen, Hemmnisse und Herausforderungen bei der praktischen Umsetzung einer Politik, die auf Verbesserung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Metropolregionen zielt. Bei der hier vor- gestellten umfangreichen empirischen Studie liegt der Schwerpunkt auf dem Umsetzungsprozess in Baden-Württemberg. Dieses Bundesland bietet eine vielfältige Umsetzungslandschaft, die durch eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Ansätze geprägt ist. Dazu zählen sowohl die älteste als auch die jüngste Generation anerkannter Metropolregionen, sowie grenzüberschreitende Einfl ussbereiche. Die Auswertung einer bei den Gemeindeverwaltungen durchgeführten Befragung – in Verbindung mit ausführlichen Interviews mit sonstigen Akteuren und Planungsbehörden – ermöglicht Einblick in einen dynamischen Prozess und weist auf signifi kante Unterschiede sowohl bei der Planung als auch bei der Umsetzung hin. Erkennbar wird eine beträchtliche Lücke zwischen Theorie und Praxis, vor allem im Bereich der fl exiblen Geometrien und bei den Strukturen der metropolitan governance. Die zunehmende Diskrepanz zwischen Funktions- und Verwaltungsräumen führt zu Tendenzen der Metropolitan Regions and Spatial Development Überdimensionierung und zu Marginalisierungsängsten. Bei dem vorgesehenen Konzept der groß- fl ächigen Verantwortungsgemeinschaften fehlte es für die Akteure

  • Action Plan for Cross-Border Cooperation Between Rostock and Guldborgsund Along the Scandria® Corridor
    ACTION PLAN for cross-border cooperation between Hansestadt Rostock and Guldborgsund Municipality along the Scandria® corridor Action plan for cross-border cooperation between Rostock and Guldborgsund along the Scandria® corridor I. Introduction Rostock and Guldborgsund have intentionally cooperated from the early 1990s on. Both municipalities decided to officially enter a durable twinning partnership with effect of November 2014. Thus, this new twinning will unite the Hanseatic City of Rostock (about 203,000 inhabitants) with the municipality Guldborgsund with about 61,000 inhabitants. Priority development aim of the Hanseatic City of Rostock is to become a regiopolis region in the Baltic Sea Region. Thus, Rostock and the surrounding county plus interactional area Ribnitz-Damgarten form a regiopolis region1 with about 450,000 inhabitants. This region generates centripetal forces which give the regiopolis region Rostock a particular role within the metropolis triangle Copenhagen, Hamburg and Berlin. Priority development aim of Guldborgsund Municipality is to utilize its position in the South Baltic Sea and along the transport corridors E 55 and E47, to cooperate with its neighboring countries and regions for the joint development of job creation and economic growth. Guldborgsund Municipality will therefore cooperate with the Rostock Regiopolis initiative and enter a twinning partnership with Hanseatic City of Rostock. The cooperation between Rostock and Guldborgsund that has tremendously increased from 1990 on needed only little political incentives; the advantages of neighborly cooperation spoke for themselves. Rostock and Guldborgsund have been unified by their good location over years; the neighbours are located only 52 km waterways away from each other, the regions’ inhabitants live up to the same values and are aware of the advantages of such a neighbourhood.

  • „Regiopolises – Cities Helping to Develop Rural Spaces and Relieve Metropolises“
    „Regiopolises – cities helping to develop rural spaces and relieve metropolises“ Presentation Prof. Dr. Johannes Weinand Head of the Urban Development and Statistics Office of Trier and the Office of the Federal Regiopolis Network as part of the event INTA 42 WORLD URBAN CONGRESS ROSTOCK, 19 - 21 SEPTEMBER 2018 THE HIDDEN VALUE OF MEDIUM-SIZED CITIES Prof. h.c. Dr. Johannes Weinand, Leiter des Amtes Stadtentwicklung und Statistik, Rathaus Trier 1 Regiopolises are definded as follows A regiopolis is a term used in urban and regional planning and development. It is a city outside a metropolitan area which serves as a driving force for the development of the surrounding region. It is a significant hub in the urban network. The region surrounding such a regiopolis is called the regiopolis region or regiopolitan area. Prof. h.c. Dr. Johannes Weinand, Leiter des Amtes Stadtentwicklung und Statistik, Rathaus Trier 2 The term regiopolis is a hybrid combination of the Latin word „regio“,which means „region“, and the ancient Greek word „polis“, which means „city“. The term is used to characterize a bigger city outside the core of a metropolitan area which is a higher-order centre with prominent importance for a larger surrounding area and has its own dynamic development region. A regiopolis can also be situated in the periphery of a metropolis. Prof. h.c. Dr. Johannes Weinand, Leiter des Amtes Stadtentwicklung und Statistik, Rathaus Trier 3 Prof. h.c.
